Submitted by: Pamela Arends-King
From: Finance
Subject:
Adopt Investment Resolution adopting the Annual Statement of Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025-26
Financial Impact:
Fiscal Impact:
None.
Summary:
In accordance with California Government Code ("CGC") Section 53646(a)(2), submitted for City Council review and approval is the annual Statement of Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The proposed investment policy states the goals of the City's investment activities, the types of investments in which the City is allowed to invest its funds and the reporting requirements.
Recommendation:
Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council take the following action:
1. Adopt Resolution No. R-2025-39, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Placentia, California, adopting the annual Statement of Investment Policy for the Fiscal Year 2025-26.
Strategic Plan Statement:
T h i s item is consistent with the City Council approved 5-Year Strategic Goal #1 to ensure long term fiscal sustainability under Objective #1.5, which is to continue seeking ways to diversify the City's revenue sources to prevent over-reliance on any one source.
Discussion:
An investment policy describes the parameters for investing government funds and identifies the investment objectives, preferences or tolerance for risk, constraints on the investment portfolio, and how the investment program will be managed and monitored. The document itself serves as a communication tool for the Staff, elected officials, the public, rating agencies, bondholders, and any other stakeholders on investment guidelines and priorities. An investment policy enhances the quality of decision making and demonstrates a commitment to the fiduciary care of public funds, making it the most important element in a public funds investment program.
19 The City of Placentia's Investment Policy is reviewed and updated annually and includes statements on the following:
Scope and investment objectives : The scope of the policy covers all funds of the City, with the policy's objectives being (in order) Safety, Liquidity and Yield.
Safety- Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.
Liquidity- The City's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City of Placentia to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated.
Yield-The City's investment portfolio shall have the objective of attaining a comparative performance measurement or an acceptable rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles. These measurements should be commensurate with the City's investment risk constraints identified in this Investment Policy and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio.
Roles, responsibilities. and standards of care : The City Treasurer shall be responsible for investment of City Funds and comply with the "prudent investor" standard which states, "When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity of the agency."
Suitable and authorized investments : Investment of City funds is governed by the California Government Code Sections 53600 et seq. Only those investments authorized in the policy shall be allowable. Examples of authorized investments include United States treasury bills, bonds or notes, Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), Negotiable Certificates of Deposit and United States Government obligations.
Diversification: The City shall diversify the investments within the portfolio to avoid incurring unreasonable risks inherent in over-investing in specific instruments, individual financial institutions, or maturities. To promote diversification, no more than 5% of the portfolio may be invested in the securities of any one issuer, regardless of security type, excluding U.S. Treasuries, federal agencies, and pooled investments such as LAIF, money market funds, or local government investment pools.
Safekeeping, custody, and internal controls : All security transactions shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis. Securities will be held by a third-party custodian designated by the City Treasurer and evidenced by safekeeping receipts.
Appropriate internal controls will be established and reviewed annually by external auditors that will review and perform procedure testing on the City's cash and investments that have a material impact on the financial statements.
Authorized financial institutions, depositories, and broker/dealers : The City Treasurer will maintain a list of approved financial institutions authorized to provide investment services to the public agency in the State of California. These may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities & Exchange Commission Rule 20 15C3-1 (uniform net capital rule).
Risk and performance standards : The recommended performance benchmark is the Two Year Constant Treasury Maturity Rate which is consistent with the weighted average maturity of the portfolio.
Reporting and disclosure standards : The City Treasurer will prepare and submit quarterly reports to the City Council stating compliance of the portfolio with the investment policy and affirming the City's ability to meet its expenditure requirements for the next six months.
The Investment Policy was significantly updated in FY 2022-23 to incorporate best practices recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) and align with their sample investment policy. The FY 2025-26 policy maintains these best practices while continuing to prioritize safety, liquidity and yield.

I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this investment policy is to identify various policies and procedures that will foster a prudent and systematic investment program designed to seek the City of Placentia’s objectives of safety, liquidity and return on investment through a diversified investment portfolio. This policy also serves to organize and formalize the City’s investment-related activities, while complying with all applicable statutes governing the investment of public funds. This policy is written to incorporate industry best practices and recommendations from sources such as the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA), California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC) and the Association of Public Treasurers (APT).
This investment policy was adopted by the City Council and is effective as of July 15, 2025, and replaces any previous versions.
II. SCOPE
This policy applies to all funds and investment activities under the direct authority of the City, as set forth in the State Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq., with the following exceptions:
Proceeds of debt, which are governed by the investment provisions of their specific bond indentures.
Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefit (OPEB) Trust Funds, which are invested in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreements.
Any other funds specifically exempted by the City Council.
POOLING OF FUNDS
Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping, and administration. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
III. PRUDENCE
Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the Prudent Investor Standard:
“…all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor 26 2
standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the Agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the Agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.”
The Treasurer and other authorized persons responsible for managing City funds acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes provided that the Treasurer or other authorized persons acted in good faith. Deviations from expectations of a security’s credit or market risk should be reported to the governing body in a timely fashion and appropriate action should be taken to control adverse developments.
IV. OBJECTIVES
The City’s overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism worthy of the public trust. The overriding objectives of the program are to preserve principal, provide sufficient liquidity, and manage investment risks, while seeking a market-rate of return.
1. SAFETY. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments will be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, the City will diversify its investments by investing funds among a variety of securities with independent returns. The City shall seek to preserve principal by mitigating the two types of risk: credit risk and market risk.
a. Credit risk, defined as the risk of loss due to failure of the issuer of a security, shall be mitigated by investing in issuers that carry the direct or implied backing of the U.S. Government (including, but not limited to, the U.S. Treasury, U.S.
Government Agencies, and federally insured banks). The portfolio will be diversified so that the failure of any one issuer does not unduly harm the City's capital base and cash flow.
b. Market risk, (aka “interest rate risk”) defined as market value fluctuations due to overall changes in the general level of interest rates shall be mitigated by limiting the maximum maturity of any one security to five years, structuring the portfolio based on historic and current cash flow analysis eliminating the need to sell securities prior to maturity and avoiding the purchase of long-term securities for the sole purpose of short-term speculation. Moreover, it is the City's full intent, at the time of purchase, to hold all investments until maturity to ensure the return of 27 3
all invested principal dollars. Limited exceptions will be granted for security swaps that would improve the portfolio’s yield and/or credit quality.
2. LIQUIDITY. The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated.
3. RETURN ON INVESTMENTS. The investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints for safety and liquidity needs.
V. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Authority to manage the City’s investment program is derived from California Government Code, Sections 41006 and 53600 et seq.
The City Council is responsible for the management of the City’s funds, including the administration of this investment policy. Management responsibility for the cash management of the City’s funds is hereby delegated to the City Treasurer and will be reaffirmed annually. In the Treasurer’s absence, the Treasurer delegates investment authority to the Deputy City Treasurer (Finance Director) as allowable per California Government Code Section 41006.
The Treasurer will be responsible for all transactions undertaken and will establish a system of procedures and controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and employees.
Such procedures will include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the City Treasurer.
The City may engage the services of one or more external investment advisers, who are registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, to assist in the management of the City’s investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the City’s objectives. External investment advisers may be granted discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this investment policy.
The City's overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. The City recognizes that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured losses may be inevitable and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio’s return and the cash flow requirements of the City.
VI. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
All participants in the investment process shall act as custodians of the public trust.
Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. Thus, employees and officials involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could create a conflict of interest or the 28 4
appearance of a conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.
Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the City Administrator any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and officers shall not undertake any personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the Agency.
VII. INTERNAL CONTROLS
The City Treasurer is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft, or misuse. The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. Internal controls shall include but are not limited to:
verification of all wire transfers from two of the four following officers: Mayor, City Treasurer, City Administrator, Finance Director, authorization of transactions, timely bank reconciliations and custodial safekeeping (investment securities are held by an independent financial institution and are recorded in the City’s name). Annually, an independent auditing firm shall review internal controls in conjunction with the audit of the City’s financial statements and provide written recommendations and observations regarding the adequacy of investment controls. These observations will be reviewed by the City’s Financial Audit Oversight Committee as part of their annual audit review of the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). All banking and investment accounts held by approved financial institutions shall conform to the City of Placentia Wire and Funds Transfer Policy #443.
VIII. AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, DEPOSITORIES, AND BROKER/DEALERS
To the extent practicable, the Treasurer shall endeavor to complete investment transactions using a competitive bid process whenever possible. The City’s Treasurer will determine which financial institutions are authorized to provide investment services to the City. It shall be the City’s policy to purchase securities only from authorized institutions and firms.
The Treasurer shall maintain procedures for establishing a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial institutions which are approved for investment purposes that are selected through a process of due diligence as determined by the City. Due inquiry shall determine whether such authorized broker/dealers, and the individuals covering the City are reputable and trustworthy, knowledgeable, and experienced in Public Agency investing and able to meet all of their financial obligations. These institutions may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3- 1 (uniform net capital rule).
In accordance with Section 53601.5, institutions eligible to transact investment business with the City include:
29 5
Primary government dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank and non- primary government dealers.
Nationally or state-chartered banks.
The Federal Reserve Bank.
Direct issuers of securities eligible for purchase.
Selection of financial institutions and broker/dealers authorized to engage in transactions will be at the sole discretion of the City, except where the City utilizes an external investment adviser in which case the Agency may rely on the adviser for selection.
All financial institutions which desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions (and which are not dealing only with the investment adviser) must supply the Treasurer with audited financials, proof of state registration, proof of NASD registration and a statement certifying that the institution has reviewed the California Government Code, Section 53600 et seq. and the City’s investment policy. The Treasurer will conduct an annual review of the financial condition and registrations of such qualified bidders.
Public deposits will be made only in qualified public depositories as established by State law. Deposits will be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or, to the extent the amount exceeds the insured maximum, will be collateralized in accordance with State law.
Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by the City will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions with broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded.
If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. When purchasing original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price.
IX. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
The City’s investments are governed by California Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq. Within the investments permitted by the Code, the City seeks to further restrict eligible investments to the guidelines listed below. In the event a discrepancy is found between this policy and the Code, the more restrictive parameters will take precedence. Percentage holding limits listed in this section apply at the time the security is purchased.
Any investment currently held at the time the policy is adopted which does not meet the new policy guidelines can be held until maturity and shall be exempt from the current policy. At the time of the investment’s maturity or liquidation, such funds shall be reinvested only as provided in the current policy.
An appropriate risk level shall be maintained by primarily purchasing securities that are of high quality, liquid, and marketable. The portfolio shall be diversified by security type and institution to avoid incurring unreasonable and avoidable risks regarding specific security types or individual issuers.

Treasuries are considered to have no credit risk and are the benchmark for interest rates on all other securities in the US and overseas. The Treasury issues both discounted securities and fixed coupon notes and bonds.
TREASURY BILLS. All securities issued with initial maturities of one year or less are issued as discounted instruments and are called Treasury bills. The Treasury currently issues three- and six-month T-bills at regular weekly auctions. It also issues “cash management” bills as needed to smooth out cash flows.
TREASURY NOTES. All securities issued with initial maturities of two to ten years are called Treasury notes and pay interest semi-annually.

PLACENTIA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: July 15, 2025
Submitted by: Samantha Byfield
From: Public Works
Subject:
Approval of the Updated Sewer System Management Plan
Financial Impact:
Fiscal Impact:
None.
Summary:
On May 2, 2006, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted statewide Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) for all sewer collection agencies and cities. The City, as an owner of a publicly owned sewer collection system, is required to update its Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) periodically. Accordingly, the City approved the Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) at a public meeting on July 21, 2009, thereby remaining in compliance with the SWRCB's mandate. The SWRCB requires the SSMP to be audited every two (2) years and reapproved at a public meeting every five (5) years. This action will approve the update to the SSMP.
Recommendation:
Recommended Action : It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve the City's Sewer System Management Plan update as required by the State Water Resources Control Board; and
2. Direct Staff to submit the Sewer System Management Plan to the State Water Resources Control Board.
Strategic Plan Statement:
There is no specific strategic planning statement or goal associated with this agenda item.
Discussion:
On May 2, 2006, the SWRCB adopted Statewide General WDRs which require a Monitoring and Reporting Program for sanitary sewer systems by the issuance of Order No. 2006-0003- DWQ (Order). The regulations in the Order were in response to growing public concern about the water quality impacts of Sanitary Sewer Overflows, particularly those that cause beach closures, adverse effects to other bodies of water, or pose serious health and safety or nuisance problems. Accordingly, the City Council approved the SSMP at a public meeting on July 21, 2009. Updates to the SSMP were completed and approved by the City Council on July 15, 2014 and February 18, 2020, thereby remaining in compliance with the SWRCB's 62 mandate.
On December 6, 2022, the SWRCB adopted the WDR to regulate wastewater collection system management on General Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ (2022 Order). It became effective on June 5, 2023, and superseded the previous SWRCB Order No. 2006-0003-DWQ.
All sections and attachments of this 2022 Order are enforceable by the SWRCB and Regional Water Quality Control Boards. The SWRCB now requires the SSMP to be updated and approved by the City Council every six years and audited every two years. The City’s SSMP has been updated based on the requirements of the 2022 Order and incorporates recent spill reports and updates to associated programs and procedures.
The 2022 Order requires the SSMP Update to be approved by a governing body prior to submittal to the SWRCB. Upon approval of the SSMP Update by City Council, the document will be submitted to California Integrated Water Quality System by the City’s Legally Responsible Officer by the August 2, 2025 deadline. Volume I of the SSMP is attached for review and approval. Volume II of the SSMP includes supporting documents such as a log of changes, the spill response plan, legal authority, and copies of sewer maps. Volume II is extensive and due to its large size has not been attached to this report but is available for review with the City Clerk's office.
Fiscal Impact Summary:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the requested actions.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
On December 6, 2022 the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB or State Water Board) adopted Order Number 2022-0103-DWQ Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements General Order for Sanitary Sewer Systems (Order or WDR) that requires all publicly owned sewage collection systems having more than one mile of pipeline develop, implement and fund a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) which establishes the minimum requirements under which a public collection system must be operated and maintained. The purpose of the Order is to prevent spills and to provide a plan and schedule for measures to be implemented for spill prevention including measures to effectively clean up and report spills. A copy of the WDR is included in Appendix A.
As the City had been under a similar Order from the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (Region 8) since 2002 the City had developed a successful SSMP to comply with the Region 8 Order. Because of the similarities of the two Orders, the SSMP developed for compliance to the Region 8 Order was rewritten to establish compliance with the new SWRCB Order. This is the most cost effective approach as most of the documentation and programs developed to comply with the Region 8 Order only required minor to moderate modifications to comply with the SWRCB Order.
The development and implementation of the SSMP has been very beneficial to the City of Placentia. The City now has an effective management, operations and maintenance (O&M) program for its sanitary sewer collection system that has resulted in a dramatic reduction in sewer overflows within the City. City food service establishments (FSE) are under a comprehensive fats, oils and grease (FOG) reduction program that has reduced the amount of FOG (the number one cause of sewer overflows, historically) into the City’s sewer system. The City’s sewer pipelines are annually cleaned and have been closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspected with deficient segments being added to the City’s capital improvement program projects list. Funding is provided by the City’s sewer service fee.
The City’s written sewer management, operations and maintenance program is contained in two volumes. Volume I is the actual SSMP (this document) which summarizes the programs and activities the City utilizes to comply with the WDR. Volume II includes the appendices referenced in this SSMP. The SSMP is divided into chapters with each chapter dedicated to a specific element of the WDR. Each chapter contains the requirement taken from the WDR and the plan the City utilizes to comply with that requirement. Volume II contains the detailed written programs and practices the City utilizes for the management, operation and maintenance of its sanitary sewer system.
This SSMP reflects the ongoing day-to-day activities of the City of Placentia for the management, operation, maintenance, and funding of the City’s sanitary sewer system. As such, this SSMP becomes a living document subject to constant review and revision as conditions and needs of the sanitary sewer collection system change. This SSMP relies on numerous supporting documents, also subject to change, that form the basis for how the City conducts its sanitary sewer collection system management, operation, and maintenance. Although subject to update at any time, the most current version of the SSMP is available at the Placentia City Hall and on 71 INTRODUCTION

2 the City’s website. A change log to document any changes to any elements of this SSMP is included in Appendix B of Volume II of this SSMP.
Sewer System Management Plan Update Schedule
The Sewer System Management Plan shall be updated once every six years, no later than the dates provided in the above schedule. The audit period is three years, and the internal audit shall be conducted no later than six months following the close of the audit period per the above schedule. The annual report is required to be completed in CIWQS by April 1st annually. Training is required to be conducted on an ongoing basis to ensure a continued understanding of the 2022 Order, elements of the SSMP and Spill Emergency Response Plan, and City procedures.
Sewer System Asset Overview
The City of Placentia was incorporated in 1926 and serves an area of approximately 6.7 square miles. The City is located in Orange County, where it is bordered to the south by the City of Anaheim, north by the City of Brea, and to the east by the City of Yorba Linda, and west by the City of Fullerton. The most recent population estimate was 53,395 residents as of 2024 per the United States Census.
The City of Placentia owns and operates approximately 85% or 84 miles of sanitary collection system pipelines within the City. The sanitary collection system in the remaining 15% areas of the City is owned, operated and maintained by the Yorba Linda Water District. pipelines and manholes. Piping sizes range from 6” to 21” in diameter. Pipe construction is mostly VCP with sizes above 15” being both VCP and RCP. There are no lift stations or force mains as the entire system is a gravity flow system. Private laterals connect private properties to the City’s collection system but are not part of the City’s collection system. The City currently utilizes, under contract, the services of, Houston & Harris PSC, Inc. to clean, maintain and provide emergency response for the City owned portion of the sanitary collection system. The City maintains and updates its sewer system data via online databases, including Excel spreadsheets and mapping tools.
The City currently does not have any structures to convey stormwater to the sewer system. The City currently has 336 multi-family residential service connections, 1,886 commercial service connections, and 14,006 single family service connections. The City’s boundary conditions and challenges include its ownership and maintenance of eleven (11) inverted siphons within its sewer system. This presents the City with unique maintenance challenges.

ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT
The City has prepared this SSMP to ensure compliance with the Order. For ease of use, the City has divided its SSMP into two volumes. Volume I consists of the actual SSMP (this document) with Volume II containing, where practical, the supporting documentation summarized in the SSMP. The SSMP (Volume I) is divided into chapters with each chapter dedicated to a specific element of the WDR. Each chapter contains the requirement taken from the WDR and the plan the City utilizes to comply with that requirement. The Compliance Summary of each chapter summarizes the program or activities the City utilizes for compliance. The Compliance Documents section lists the supporting documents, and their location, that the City has developed as part of its SSMP. A master list of all City positions involved in developing and implementing the SSMP, including job titles and job descriptions, is located in Chapter 3 - Description of Organization.
Actual names and contact information for the listed job titles is available at the Placentia City Hall. This is done to facilitate staff changes and protect staff privacy.

CHAPTER I – PROHIBITIONS AND PROVISIONS
PROHIBITIONS AND PROVISIONS
This chapter describes the sewage discharge prohibitions and thirteen provisions prescribed in the Order.
1.1 Prohibitions
To meet the provisions contained in Division 7 of the California Water Code and regulations adopted thereunder, the discharger is required to comply with the following prohibitions:
• Any spill that results in a discharge of untreated or partially treated wastewater to waters of the United States is prohibited.
• Any spill that results in a discharge of untreated or partially treated wastewater that creates a nuisance as defined in California Water Code Section 13050(m) is prohibited.
1.2 Provisions
The discharger must meet the following thirteen provisions:
1. The Enrollee must comply with all conditions of this Order. Any noncompliance with this Order constitutes a violation of the California Water Code and is grounds for enforcement action.
2. It is the intent of the State Water Board that sanitary sewer systems be regulated in a manner consistent with the general WDRs. Nothing in the general WDRs shall be:
a. Interpreted or applied in a manner inconsistent with the Federal Clean Water Act, or supersede a more specific or more stringent state or federal requirement in an existing permit, regulation, or administrative/judicial order or Consent Decree;
b. Interpreted or applied to authorize a spill that is illegal under either the Clean Water Act, an applicable Basin Plan prohibition or water quality standard, or the California Water Code;
c. Interpreted or applied to prohibit a Regional Water Board from issuing an individual NPDES permit or WDR, superseding this general WDR, for a sanitary sewer system, authorized under the Clean Water Act or California Water Code; or
d. Interpreted or applied to supersede any more specific or more stringent WDRs or enforcement order issued by a Regional Water Board. 76 CHAPTER I – PROHIBITIONS AND PROVISIONS
CONTINUED
6 3. The Enrollee shall take all feasible steps to eliminate spills. In the event that a spill does occur, the Enrollee shall take all feasible steps to contain and mitigate the impacts of a spill.
4. In the event of a spill, the Enrollee shall take all feasible steps to prevent untreated or partially treated wastewater from discharging from storm drains into flood control channels or waters of the United States by blocking the storm drainage system and by removing the wastewater from the storm drains.
5. All spills must be reported in accordance with the 2022 Order.
6. In any enforcement action, the State and/or Regional Water Boards will consider the appropriate factors under the duly adopted State Water Board Enforcement Policy.
Consistent with the Enforcement Policy, the State and/or Regional Water Boards must consider the Enrollee’s efforts to contain, control, and mitigate spills when considering the California Water Code Section 13327 factors. In assessing these factors, the State and/or Regional Water Boards will also consider whether:
a. The Enrollee has complied with the requirements of this Order, including requirements for reporting and developing and implementing a SSMP; b. The Enrollee can identify the cause or likely cause of the discharge event; c. There were no feasible alternatives to the discharge, such as temporary storage or retention of untreated wastewater, reduction of inflow and infiltration, use of adequate backup equipment, collecting and hauling of untreated wastewater to a treatment facility, or an increase in the capacity of the system as necessary to contain the design storm event identified in the SSMP. It is inappropriate to consider the lack of feasible alternatives, if the Enrollee does not implement a periodic or continuing process to identify and correct problems.
d. The discharge was exceptional, unintentional, temporary, and caused by factors beyond the reasonable control of the Enrollee;
e. The discharge could have been prevented by the exercise of reasonable control described in a certified SSMP for:
• Proper management, operation and maintenance;
• Adequate treatment facilities, sanitary sewer system facilities, and/or components with an appropriate design capacity, to reasonably prevent spills (e.g., adequately enlarging treatment or collection facilities to accommodate growth, inflow and infiltration (I/I), etc.); • Preventive maintenance (including cleaning and fats, oils, and grease (FOG) control);
• Installation of adequate backup equipment; and
77 CHAPTER I – PROHIBITIONS AND PROVISIONS
CONTINUED
7 • Inflow and infiltration prevention and control to the extent practicable. f. The sanitary sewer system design capacity is appropriate to reasonably prevent spills.
g. The Enrollee took all reasonable steps to stop and mitigate the impact of the discharge as soon as possible.
7. When a sanitary sewer overflow or spill occurs, the Enrollee shall take all feasible steps and necessary remedial actions to: a) control or limit the volume of untreated or partially treated wastewater discharged, b) terminate the discharge, and c) recover as much of the wastewater discharged as possible for proper disposal, including any wash down water.
The Enrollee shall implement all remedial actions to the extent they may be applicable to the discharge and not inconsistent with an emergency response plan, including the following:
• Interception and rerouting of untreated or partially treated wastewater flows around the wastewater line failure;
• Vacuum truck recovery of sanitary sewer overflows and wash down water; • Cleanup of debris at the overflow site;
• System modifications to prevent another spill at the same location; • Adequate sampling to determine the nature and impact of the release; and • Adequate public notification to protect the public from exposure to the spill.
8. The Enrollee shall properly manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the sanitary sewer system owned or operated by the Enrollee, and shall ensure that the system operators (including employees, contractors, or other agents) are adequately trained and possess adequate knowledge, skills, and abilities.
9. The Enrollee shall allocate adequate resources for the operation, maintenance, and repair of its sanitary sewer system by establishing a proper rate structure, accounting mechanisms, and auditing procedures to ensure an adequate measure of revenues and expenditures. These procedures must be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and comply with generally accepted accounting practices.
10. The Enrollee shall provide adequate capacity to convey base flows and peak flows, including flows related to wet weather events. Capacity shall meet or exceed the design criteria as defined in the Enrollee’s System Evaluation and Capacity Assurance Plan (SECAP) for all parts of the sanitary sewer system owned or operated by the Enrollee.
11. The Enrollee shall develop and implement a written Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) and make it available to the State and/or Regional Water Board upon request. 78 CHAPTER I – PROHIBITIONS AND PROVISIONS

CHAPTER 2 – GOALS AND ASSETS
GOALS AND ASSETS
This chapter describes the goals of the Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). The goal of the SSMP is to provide a documented plan that describes all sanitary sewer collection system activities and programs employed by an agency to ensure proper management of all collection system assets. Implementing an SSMP will ensure proper management, operation, and maintenance of all parts of the sanitary sewer system, ultimately helping to reduce and prevent spills, as well as mitigate any spills that do occur including meeting all applicable regulatory notification and reporting requirements. Commitment to continual improvement will also ensure that the SSMP is both a living and sustainable document that is continually updated, revised, and tailored to meet the City’s needs. The City is required to comply with the “State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Order No. 2022-0103 DWQ” (Order) on General Waste Discharge Requirements and any future amendments for publicly owned sewage collection agencies having more than one mile of collection pipelines.
2.1 Purpose
This element describes the City’s stated goals for its SSMP and is intended to clarify the City’s desired level of service that is being provided to its customers. The purpose of the Order is to prevent spills. The goal of the SSMP is to provide a plan and schedule to properly manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the sanitary sewer system. That will help reduce and prevent spills, as well as mitigate any spills that do occur. The City is required to prepare and maintain the SSMP to support this purpose.
2.2 Goals
The goals of the City’s SSMP include:
a. Provide needs-based maintenance, including line cleaning, inspection and evaluation, repair, replacement and rehabilitation for the City’s entire sanitary sewer system designed to prevent, reduce or eliminate preventable spills. At a minimum, the City shall clean all of its sanitary sewer collection system lines every two years and annually review the City’s operation and maintenance practices and procedures. b. Retain qualified pipeline cleaning contractor(s) to provide efficient, cost effective sewer line cleaning based upon system need. Review the progress and efficiency of the line cleaning during the cleaning operation and upon its completion to ensure that cleaning is conducted consistent with the City’s cleaning standards. c. Maintain an inspection program to determine need, assess maintenance effectiveness and system deficiencies. Conduct CCTV re-inspections of the sewer collection system, including manholes, a minimum of every 5-7 years (14-20% per year). CCTV re-inspection videos are to replace current system inspection videos. Conduct spot CCTV inspections during line cleaning operations to ensure line cleaning quality. 80 CHAPTER 2 – GOALS AND ASSETS
CONTINUED
10 d. Respond to and mitigate all spills discharging from the City’s sanitary sewer collection system and provide accurate reporting of all spills as described by the Order. e. Properly fund, manage, operate, and maintain the City’s sanitary sewer collection system with adequately trained staff and/or contractors. Maintain adequate reserves for future sanitary sewer collection system rehabilitation or replacement. Annually review the City’s Sewer Service Fee to ensure that the fee is adequate to fund the City’s sanitary sewer collection system.
As required by the Order, a copy of the SSMP is maintained at the City’s Department of Public Works, as well as on the City’s website, and is available to the public, state and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) upon request (as discussed in, Section D, Provisions, Item 11 of the Order) and is available to sanitary sewer system operations and maintenance personnel at all times.
A copy of the Order is included in Volume II of this SSMP.

The Order requires the chain of communication for reporting spills, from receipt of a complaint or other information, including the person responsible for reporting spills to the State and Regional Water Board and other agencies if applicable (such as County Health Care Agency, Regional Water Board, and/or Cal OES).
3.2.1 Compliance Summary
During normal business hours, spills are reported to the City’s Public Works Department. The Public Works Supervisor is responsible for responding to the spill and taking the appropriate action to contain the spill, notify the contractor, assist with cleanup, document the event, notify the appropriate regulatory agencies, and evaluate the cause, effect, and response to the spill. The Public Works Supervisor will direct Public Works resources as necessary. The Public Works Superintendent, in conjunction with the Public Works Supervisor will complete the necessary notification and reporting documentation including the online CIWQS reporting. The Public Works Superintendent, as the LRO, will certify all CIWQS reports as required. After normal business hours, spills are reported to 911 Dispatch who in turn will contact the City’s emergency standby person. The emergency standby person will provide the initial spill response and will summon the Public Works Supervisor to remediate the situation.
The following flow chart shows the chain of communication for reporting spills. It starts with the receipt of a complaint or other information and includes the title of the person responsible for reporting spills to CIWQS, SWRCB, Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA), and OES.
This flowchart is also part of the Spill Reporting Guidelines developed to manage the reporting process and exists in the City’s current Spill Emergency Response Plan. Reporting to the OES is 86 CHAPTER 3 – DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION
CONTINUED
16 required for any sewage discharge, of any volume, that reaches (a) surface water or a drainage channel that is tributary to surface waters or (b) reaches an MS4 and is not fully captured and returned to the sanitary sewer system or otherwise captured and properly disposed of. Any volume of wastewater not recovered from the municipal separate storm system is considered to have reached surface water unless the storm drain system discharges to a dedicated storm water or ground water infiltration basin (e.g. infiltration pit, percolation pond).
In September 2013, the SWRCB changed the reporting of spills from appearance-based to event- based. Under the event-based system one spill report is required for each spill that occurs regardless of the number of appearance points although each appearance point must be noted in the report. Previously, a separate spill report had to be filed for each appearance point sometimes requiring numerous spill reports for the same spill event.
Reporting to CIWQS of private lateral sewer discharges (PLSD) is voluntary. PLSDs are sewage discharges that occur from private sewer lateral or other privately-owned sewer assets. The City is not responsible for private lateral discharges but may voluntarily report them to the CIWQS Online Spill Database as the City becomes aware of them. The City is encouraged to provide notification to Cal OES for PLSDs greater than 1,000 gallons or that discharge to surface waters. If a PLSD is reported by the City, the City must identify that the sewage discharge is from a private sewer system asset and should identify the responsible party if known.
Certification of PLSDs by the City is not required.

(a) Prevent illicit discharges into its sanitary sewer system (examples may include I/I, storm water, chemical dumping, unauthorized debris and cut roots, etc.); (b) Require that sewers and connections be properly designed and constructed; (c) Ensure access for maintenance, inspection, or repairs for portions of the lateral owned or maintained by the Public Agency;
(d) Limit the discharge of fats, oils, and grease and other debris that may cause blockages; (e) Enforce any violation of its sewer ordinances and
(f) Obtain easement accessibility agreements for locations requiring sewer system operations and maintenance, as applicable.
4.1 Compliance Summary
The City’s legal authority to operate and maintain its sanitary sewer collection system is within its Municipal Code. As part of its Municipal Code, the City has adopted the California Plumbing Code (CPC) which, together with the Municipal Code (a) prohibit illicit discharges into the City’s sanitary sewer collection system; (b) require that sewers and connections be properly designed and constructed; (e) provide enforcement for violations. By adopting the CPC, which includes requirements for the proper construction, connections, materials, etc., the City requires that all sewers and connections be properly designed and constructed as per the CPC. Likewise, the CPC outlines and requires the proper installation, testing and inspection of new and rehabilitated sewers. Additionally, the City utilizes the Standard Publication for Public Works Construction, – “Greenbook” for pipeline construction standards and inspections. Pipeline and other appurtenance construction guidelines are provided by the Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, current edition, and the City’s Sewer Notes. These publications are maintained at the City’s Engineering Division of the Public Works Department. The City enforces the codes through its building inspectors and building permit process. The City also requires that only California registered professionals provide service where required by law.
The City has an active FOG regulation (d) to limit the discharge of FOG into its sanitary sewer collection system and maintains easements (c) for facilities that are not located within the public right of way.
The City has an inflow and infiltration (I&I) control program as part of its ongoing line cleaning and maintenance program including CCTV and other mechanisms to detect and eliminate I&I. 90 CHAPTER 4 – LEGAL AUTHORITY

5.1.1 Compliance Summary
During the summer of 2013, the City invested in a computer based Geographic Information System (GIS) that currently contains mapping for the sanitary sewer collection system. As part of the project, the City had to verify the location of pipelines, pipe size, pipe material, manholes, and direction of flow of the City’s collection system assets. The City’s sewer GIS was further updated as part of the 2018 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan and Condition Assessment. The system is capable of generating up-to-date map books containing paper copies of the sanitary sewer collection system. The City also maintains GIS of the storm drain system which, along with the collection system GIS, is available to maintenance personnel. The GIS can be accessed either at City Hall or the City’s maintenance yard.
The City maintains paper maps of its sanitary sewer collection system. This includes the Tract As-Built maps showing both the sanitary sewer collection system and storm drain systems. These maps are housed in the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department for the City. The maps include the locations of manholes and their ID tags, siphons, easements, property parcels, pipelines, their depth and direction of flow, etc. Maps are periodically reviewed and updated by the City’s engineering consultant and Engineering Division of the Public Works Department.
The City completed its latest Storm Drain Master Plan 2000 in January 2001. This master plan includes mapping of the City’s storm drain system and an analysis of the storm water conveyance system. The City also maintains atlas maps of the storm drain system. Like the sewer atlas maps, the storm drain atlas maps are housed in the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department. Copies of both the sewer atlas and storm drain atlas maps are kept in the Public Works first responder’s vehicles, which are available to the City’s Public Works Maintenance Workers. These maps are periodically reviewed and updated. The City’s map can be found in Appendix N.
5.1.2 Compliance Documents

5.2 Preventive Maintenance Program
The Order requires the City to describe routine preventive operation and maintenance activities by staff and contractors, including a system for scheduling regular maintenance and cleaning of the sanitary sewer collection system with more frequent cleaning and maintenance targeted at known problem areas. The Preventive Maintenance (PM) program should have a system to document scheduled and conducted activities, such as work orders.
5.2.1 Compliance Summary
The operation and maintenance of the City’s sanitary sewer collection system is the responsibility of the City’s Department of Public Works. Due to the small size of the City’s Public Works staff, maintenance of the sanitary sewer collection system is performed via outside contract with Public Works personnel providing oversight. To comply with the requirements of the WDR and to assist the City’s Public Works staff in ensuring that the sanitary sewer collection system is properly operated and maintained, the City has developed a comprehensive written Preventive Maintenance Program (located in Appendix F of Volume II). The Preventive Maintenance Program describes how the City’s sanitary sewer collection system is to be operated and maintained paying particular attention to preventive and predictive maintenance, inspection, enhanced maintenance areas and record keeping. The Preventive Maintenance Program includes a Sewer Line Cleaning Guide, Sewer Line Inspection Guide and Infiltration and Inflow Reduction Plan. The Line Cleaning Guide includes specifications for the quality of line cleaning the City expects from its line cleaning contractor(s). The Sewer Line Inspection Guide outlines the requirements that the CCTV contractor must adhere to. The Infiltration and Inflow (I&I) Reduction Plan outlines the methodology of the City’s I&I Reduction Program.
The City of Placentia, while under the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board’s WDR, revamped its sanitary sewer collection system’s operation and maintenance program. Since that time the City has further evaluated the maintenance needs of its sanitary collection system and 96 CHAPTER 5 – OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
CONTINUED
26 has revised the line cleaning program to meet the needs of the sanitary collection system. Under the current program the City cleans all of its sanitary sewer collection system lines every two years. Areas that have been deemed as requiring enhanced inspection and maintenance are cleaned every quarter or more frequently if needed (current Enhanced Maintenance Area list included in Appendix F). The City has CCTV inspected 100% of its sanitary sewer collection system and is currently committed to re-inspecting the system at a rate of approximately 14-20% per year, or the entire system every 5 to 7 years. Based upon this inspection and evaluation, routine maintenance is tailored to meet the actual needs of the system including updating the City’s capital improvement program (CIP) for system rehabilitation and replacement.
Funding for the operation and maintenance of the City’s sanitary sewer collection system is provided by the City’s sewer service fee. The sewer service fee was adopted by the City Council in April 2005 and is dedicated to providing necessary funds for the sanitary sewer collection system. The City completed a sewer rate study in 2021 and is currently reviewing the existing rates, anticipating the implementation of the new sewer service fee in 2025. Reporting of all unauthorized discharges from the City’s sanitary sewer collection system is required by the 2022 Order. Sewer spill reporting requirements and procedures are listed in Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2.

27 5.3 Rehabilitation and Replacement Plan
Every Enrollee is responsible for developing a rehabilitation and replacement plan to identify and prioritize system deficiencies and implement short-term and long-term rehabilitation actions to address each deficiency. The program should include regular visual and CCTV inspections of manholes and sewer pipes, and a system for ranking the condition of sewer pipes and scheduling rehabilitation. The rehabilitation and replacement plan should include a CIP that addresses proper management and protection of the infrastructure assets. The plan shall include a time schedule for implementing the short- and long-term plans plus a schedule for developing the funds needed for the capital improvement plan.
5.3.1 Compliance Summary
As the system ages, replacement or rehabilitation is required. To address this issue the City has developed Replacement/Rehabilitation Plan for its sanitary sewer collection system (Appendix H of Volume II). This plan calls for the replacement or rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer collection piping and manholes based upon the materials used and the date that each segment was placed in service. The City’s collection system is divided into six geographical drainage areas (see map in Appendix H). Each drainage area is defined by its geographic location, tract development within the drainage area, and the drainage areas relationship to the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) interceptor system. Initial replacement/rehabilitation target dates were established based upon the engineered life expectancy of the materials used in the manufacturing of the pipelines and other appurtenances within each drainage area.
While the City was under the requirements of the RWQCB’s WDR the City engaged an aggressive CCTV inspection program to establish a baseline assessment of the actual condition of the City’s sanitary sewer collection system. The City has successfully conducted CCTV inspection of its entire system and continues to update its inspection data by CCTV re-inspecting its entire sewer collection system every 5 to 7 years. Data from the initial and subsequent CCTV inspections is used to target pipeline deficiencies and to update the City’s Replacement/Rehabilitation Plan as well as the 2018 Wastewater Master Plan Update, which was used to develop the City’s most current CIP with both condition and capacity-related deficiencies.
Through this process, previously unknown pipeline defects were discovered and both higher risk (high priority, short-term projects) and lower risk (medium priority, longer-term projects) were developed in the process. As part of the condition assessment component, defective pipe segments were rated and prioritized then added to the CIP list for the appropriate engineering solution. The City uses the NASSCO pipeline assessment standards for assessing its sanitary sewer collection system pipeline condition.
Funding is provided for the replacement/rehabilitation of the City’s sanitary sewer collection system by the sewer service fee. The sewer service fee is currently being reevaluated through a sewer rate study with an updated sewer service fee anticipated to be implemented in Fall 2025. 98 CHAPTER 5 – OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

5.4 Training Program
The City is required to provide training on a regular basis for staff in sanitary sewer collection system operations and maintenance, and to ensure that contractors to be appropriately trained.
5.4.1 Compliance Summary
The City has an ongoing training program for its Public Works employees. As part of this program, the Public Works field employees attend periodic WDR Awareness Training Workshops held at the City Yard. An abbreviated WDR Awareness Training program was presented to all other City personnel. City Public Works field employees have undergone, and continue to receive, Spill Response Training held in conjunction with the City’s storm water program at OCSD’s Spill Response Training Facility. Confined Space Safety and other safety training is offered to the City’s Public Works employees throughout the year. Public Works employees have attended seminars for regional sewer spill response and have attended the CWEA Spill Reporting Workshop. Through these trainings, staff have the knowledge for estimation of spill volume for field operators, and electronic CIWQS reporting procedures for staff submitting data.
Contractors providing service to the City for its sanitary sewer collection system must demonstrate to the City that their employees are adequately trained in sanitary sewer collection system maintenance techniques, confined space safety, and can properly operate the equipment they utilize. The City will obtain, and maintain on record, training records for their pipeline contractor on an annual basis to ensure their pipeline contractor is sufficiently trained. 99 CHAPTER 5 – OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

5.5 Equipment and Parts Inventories
Each Enrollee is required to provide equipment and replacement part inventories, including identification of critical replacement parts for the operation and maintenance of its sanitary sewer collection system.
5.5.1 Compliance Summary
The City of Placentia’s sanitary sewer collection system is a gravity-based system. Being gravity based, the transport of sewage does not require any pumping or force mains. The City’s pipelines are almost entirely vitrified clay pipe (VCP) of standard, commonly available sizes. There are no known critical components (components that require special manufacturing or have excessive lead times when ordering) within the City’s sanitary sewer collection system. Additionally, the City contracts out for all of its line cleaning and any required system rehabilitation or repair. For these reasons, the City does not maintain any inventory of pipeline components. As the City does fulfill the roll of first responder to Spills, the City maintains response vehicles equipped with the necessary equipment to divert and / or contain spills until the necessary contractor arrives.
As part of the Spill Emergency Response Plan (SERP or ERP), the City maintains a list and contact information of line cleaning and pipeline contractors. The City currently utilizes Houston & Harris (per Standby List 6-15 until 10-04) for any emergency pipeline repair needs.
5.5.2 Compliance Documents
The documents supporting compliance with the requirement to maintain an inventory of equipment and parts including the identification of critical parts are as follows:

7.1 Compliance Summary
The City of Placentia has an Spill Emergency Response Plan (SERP) in compliance with the requirements of the WDR, last updated in 2025. A copy of the SERP is located in Appendix D of Volume II of this SSMP.
The City’s SERP consists of detailed instructions for City personnel for responding to an spill or any other type of unauthorized spill within the City’s jurisdiction. The SERP includes notification procedures, personnel callout lists, contractors and other resources that may be needed to respond to a spill. The SERP also includes descriptions of the duties that the City’s first responders and supervisors are responsible to perform.
Although the City does not have any impounded water bodies within its jurisdiction that might require a Portable Aeration Plan, there is a potential for a spill to migrate through the City’s MS- 4 system to either the Santa Ana River or Carbon Creek. The City, via its participation on the OC WDR Steering Committee, has assisted OCSD in the development of the Portable Aeration Report.
7.2 Compliance Documents
The compliance documents that detail the agency’s Overflow Emergency Response Plan are as follows:

35 CHAPTER 8 – SEWER PIPE BLOCKAGE CONTROL PROGRAM
SEWER PIPE BLOCKAGE CONTROL PROGRAM
Under the Order, each Enrollee is required to evaluate its service area to determine whether a sewer pipe blockage control program is needed to control fats, oils, grease, rags and debris. If the Enrollee determines that a sewer pipe blockage control program is not needed, the Enrollee must provide justification for why it is not needed. If fats, oils, and grease (FOG) is found to be a problem, the Enrollee must prepare and implement a sewer pipe blockage control program to reduce the amount of these substances discharged to the sanitary sewer system. This plan shall include the following at minimum:
(a) An implementation plan and schedule for a public education outreach program that promotes proper disposal of FOG;
(b) A plan and schedule for the disposal of FOG generated within the sanitary sewer system service area. This may include a list of acceptable disposal facilities and/or additional facilities needed to adequately dispose of FOG generated within a sanitary sewer system service area;
(c) The legal authority to prohibit discharges to the system and identify measures to prevent spills and blockages caused;
(d) Requirements to install grease removal devices (such as traps or interceptors), design standards for the removal devices, maintenance requirements, BMP requirements, record keeping and reporting requirements;
(e) Authority to inspect grease producing facilities, enforcement authorities, and whether the Enrollee has sufficient staff to inspect and enforce the FOG ordinance; (f) An identification of sanitary sewer system sections subject to FOG blockages and establishment of a cleaning maintenance schedule for each section; and (g) Implementation of source control measures for all sources of FOG discharged to the sanitary sewer system for each section identified in (f) above.
8.1 Compliance Summary
The City of Placentia recognizes that historically 38% of the spills having a known cause within the City’s sanitary sewer collection system were due to an accumulation of FOG. Likewise, many of the City’s enhanced maintenance areas are FOG related. As a preventative measure, these enhanced maintenance areas are on an enhanced cleaning schedule being cleaned at least quarterly. With the adoption of the WDR, the City developed and implemented a comprehensive Sewer Pipe Blockage Control Program. This is a permit-based program affecting all food service establishments (FSEs) that discharge into the City’s sanitary sewer collection system. This program and its supporting FOG Control Ordinance are derivatives of the model FOG Control Ordinance and program developed by OCSD in conjunction with the OC WDR Committee.
The Ordinance and program require that all FSEs must install an approved grease interceptor. 106
CHAPTER 8 – SEWER PIPE BLOCKAGE CONTROL PROGRAM
CONTINUED
36 The Ordinance and program, on a case-by-case basis, allows for variances and waivers under limited specified conditions with the approval of the City’s FOG Control Program Manager. All FSEs are required to utilize kitchen best management practices. Each FSE has been provided with a FOG Program handbook that includes information on the FOG Control Program, FSEs responsibilities, best management practices, employee training aids, frequently asked questions (in both English and Spanish) and record keeping materials (all information also available on the City’s website). Enforcement is provided through a series of inspections with the ability to issue citations or take other necessary steps to ensure compliance with the program. These inspections were initiated with the programs adoption and are ongoing. The City has a goal of completing at least one inspection per FSE per year.
A FOG Characterization Study was performed to identify areas of FOG concentration. In this study, FSEs were inventoried and their relationship to known enhanced maintenance areas was plotted. The City intends to use the FOG Characterization Study as a measure of the FOG program’s effectiveness and will update the study as additional information becomes available.
FOG disposal is through the OCSD treatment plant in Fountain Valley. FOG collected through line cleaning or the cleaning of grease interceptors within the City is taken to OCSD for treatment. FSEs must use licensed grease haulers to clean and transport material removed from grease interceptors.
Manifests for cleaning and grease removal must be maintained by the FSEs and are reviewed during the City’s inspections. Inspections may be conducted by City staff or by a contractor hired by the City.
The City utilizes its newsletter and other public events to inform the public of the necessity to properly dispose of residential FOG.
8.2 Compliance Documents
The FOG Control program activities are documented under the following ordinances, reports, and studies:
◼ FOG Control Ordinance - included as Appendix I in Volume II of this SSMP. ◼ FOG Control Program - included as Appendix J in Volume II of this SSMP. ◼ FOG Characterization Study - included as Appendix K in Volume II of this SSMP. ◼ FSE FOG Handbook – available from the FOG Program Manager. ◼ FOG Disposal Alternatives Report – In-Plant FOG Impact Study (OCSD) – located at the office of the FOG Program Manager.

9.1 Compliance Summary
System Evaluation and Condition Assessment: The Placentia sanitary sewer collection system is divided into six (6) geographical drainage areas, consistent with tract development within those drainage areas, and their relationship to the OCSD interceptor system. Each drainage area is independent of the others and connects to the OCSD system at various locations. Sewage collected in each area flows to the OCSD interceptor pipelines where it is transported to OCSD’s treatment facilities. These areas developed at different times as the City changed from a primarily agricultural area into a residential community. Because each basin is independent, development within a basin only affects the capacity of that basin and not the remainder of the sanitary sewer collection system. The City is almost 100% built out.
In 2000, the City had a flow study conducted to determine the actual wastewater generation factors from the various types of sanitary sewer collection system users within the City. The data was used to calibrate a model of the collection system to determine if sufficient capacity exists. At that time, 20 of the City’s 44 reaches were modeled. In the first quarter of 2005, as part of the City’s 2005 Sewer Master Plan Update, the City contracted to have the model re-run for all 44 reaches of the collection system. Results were incorporated into the City’s Capacity Assurance Plan as part of its Region 8 SSMP. Those pipe segments that the model indicated as being under capacity were added to the City’s CIP in 2005. Field studies were also conducted to measure the actual flow levels at different times of the day over a period of one week for those pipe segments that the model indicated as not having sufficient capacity. This assisted the City in prioritizing projects as the computer model is a projection of flow conditions. The City of Placentia historically has not experienced capacity-related issues in the sanitary sewer collection system, nor are they currently.
In 2009 the City completed an aggressive CCTV inspection program. Over a period of 2½ years the City CCTV inspected its entire sanitary sewer collection system. This has established a baseline condition assessment for the sanitary sewer collection system. Re-inspections are conducted at a rate of approximately 14-20% of the system per year (or full system every 5 to 7 years).
During the summer of 2013, the City installed a comprehensive GIS system for its sewer collection and stormwater systems. The GIS system allows the City to easily access maintenance data, including video inspections of the sanitary sewer collection system pipeline segments. In 110
CHAPTER 9 – SYSTEM EVALUATION AND CAPACITY ASSURANCE AND
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
CONTINUED
40 2018, as part of a Sewer Master Plan Update, the City developed updated design and evaluation criteria, as well as an updated hydraulic model. A three-week flow monitoring program was utilized to calibrate the existing dry weather hydraulic model scenario and to assess I/I impacts to the system. No significant wet weather response was captured for the flow monitoring period and so wet weather flow monitoring data from OCSD was utilized to determine the peak wet weather flow scenario. Results of the existing system capacity evaluation indicated that approximately 2% of pipes show capacity deficiencies under existing peak dry weather flow conditions and approximately 15% of pipes show capacity deficiencies under existing peak wet weather flow conditions The Sewer Master Plan capacity evaluation effort resulted in seven (7) capacity related CIP projects totaling $13.8M.
The city maintains documents and records related to system evaluations and condition assessments, such as the one conducted in 2018, to ensure that deficiencies are identified. Given that the city is situated in a flat terrain, the findings will prioritize areas that could have significant environmental consequences if they are vulnerable to collapse. The system may also be susceptible to both direct and indirect impacts of climate change, including wildfires, flooding, erosion, and power disruptions.
In the future, if a new evaluation is carried out to monitor flow, model hydraulics, or assess the sewer system further, any additional deficiencies in sewer capacity will be identified. Once these deficiencies are noted, they will be addressed using appropriate engineering solutions to the specific conditions.
Capacity Assessment and Design Criteria: The City utilizes industry standards as the design criteria for its sanitary sewer collection system. All design work is conducted by registered California professional engineers and all contractors are required to be licensed and insured. The City requires that all design be compliant with the latest edition of the California Plumbing Code (CPC) supplemented by the Standard Publication for Public Works Construction (Greenbook), Standard Plans for Public Works Construction (current edition), and the City’s Sewer Notes to establish standards of work, material and construction procedures for improvements to the City’s sanitary sewer collection system. The system is designed to handle projected dry and wet weather peak flows, including other sources of peak flow from commercial and industrial activities.
Design standards were created as part of the 2018 Sewer Master Plan Update. The sewer design criteria for the City are shown in the following table.
Design Criteria City of Placentia
Minimum Size 8-inches
Minimum Slope (8”) 0.40%
Minimum Slope (12” and larger) 0.24%

1) Data from existing system condition assessments, system inspections, system audits, spill history, and other available information; 2) Capacity of flood-prone systems subject to increased infiltration and inflow, under normal local and regional storm conditions; 3) Capacity of systems subject to increased infiltration and inflow due to larger and/or higher -intensity storm events as a result of climate change; 4) Increases of erosive forces in canyons and streams near under- ground and aboveground system components due to larger and/or higher-intensity storm events; 5) Capacity of major system elements to accommodate dry weather peak flow conditions, and updated design storm and wet weather events; and 5) in pumping and storage capacities.
Prioritization of Corrective Action: The results and findings of the system evaluation and capacity assessments will be used to implement corrective actions to improve the efficiency of the sanitary sewer system and prevent future spills. This information will also inform the CIP schedule a nd applicable projects. The City will prioritize the corrective actions based upon the severity of the consequence of the potential spill.
The City has incorporated several capacity enhancement measures into its sanitary sewer collection system. The City has an Infiltration and Inflow (I&I) program to prevent storm water or groundwater from entering the system. The I&I program is designed to identify and eliminate sources of I&I within the City’s sanitary sewer collection system through the selective use of smoke testing, flow monitoring, and CCTV. As part of this program, the City completed the Walnut Drainage Project in 2009. This project eliminated a severe drainage issue that occurred during heavy rain events causing flooding and inundation of the sanitary sewer collection system in the Walnut Avenue area. The City’s CCTV inspection program and proactive line cleaning program ensure the sanitary sewer collection system can handle designed flows. The CCTV inspection program provides the City with visual data on internal deficiencies while the line cleaning program keeps the sanitary sewer collection lines free of accumulations of FOG, roots, and other debris. The City has also established a minimum size of 8-inch diameter pipe for sewer mains.
Capital Improvement Plan: In 2019, the City revised and updated its CIP. The updated CIP includes $16 million in capital improvements for the sanitary sewer collection system. These projects are a combination of pipe deficiencies and capacity issues. The CIP was updated based upon the findings of the 2018 Sewer Master Plan Update. 112
CHAPTER 9 – SYSTEM EVALUATION AND CAPACITY ASSURANCE AND
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
CONTINUED
42 There are no sewer projects in the City’s current CIP. The CIP is periodically reviewed with changes being made to the project list and start dates to meet the changing needs of the City.
The CIP also contains budgetary cost projections for the listed projects. Funding is provided for the replacement/rehabilitation of the City’s sanitary sewer collection system by the Sewer Enterprise Fund balance. Grants and bond sales are additional means the City can utilize to fund its CIP projects.
The City coordinates with operation, maintenance and engineering staff depending on the pace of development. The capacity of the sewage collection system to carry the existing and projected flows is evaluated and improvements recommended. These recommendations become part of the costs when considering changes to the wastewater system.
9.2 Compliance Documents

AND PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS
MONITORING, MEASUREMENT, AND PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS
The Plan must include an Adaptive Management section that addresses Plan-implementation effectiveness and the steps for necessary Plan improvement, including: :
(a) Maintain relevant information, including audit findings, that can be used to establish and prioritize appropriate SSMP activities;
(b) Monitor the implementation and, where appropriate, measure the effectiveness of each element of the SSMP;
(c) Assess the success of the preventative operation and maintenance program; (d) Update plan procedures and activities, as appropriate, based on results of monitoring or performance evaluations; and
(e) Identify and illustrate spill trends, including: spill frequency, location, and estimated volumes.
10.1 Compliance Summary
City staff reviews the maintenance activities and programs necessary for the efficient operation of the sanitary sewer collection system. This includes tracking information related to the collection system, such as all maintenance activities, audit findings, spill data, service and repair history, root control, pipe cleaning, and customer complaints. The collected data is used to generate reports that help monitor and prioritize SSMP activities. This data is used to determine if the City’s activities are sufficient to meet the stated goals of the SSMP. Line cleaning records provided by the City’s contractor are reviewed for abnormalities such as increased grease accumulation or root growth. Likewise, the cleaning records of the enhanced maintenance areas are reviewed for changes.
The effectiveness of the program shall be monitored and tracked through the City to minimize sewer spills. These include:
• Total number of spills;
• Total number and their amount discharged or reaching the Waters of the United States; • Spill response time;
• Reduction in repeated incidents of spill at the same location; and • Reduction in number of spills caused by flows exceeding the capacity of the collection system.
When spills occur, their source is identified, and appropriate action taken to ensure future spills do not occur at the same location with the same cause. Spill response is reviewed and modified if necessary. O&M costs are carefully monitored to ensure sufficient funds are being provided by 114

44 the sewer service fee. CCTV inspection videos are reviewed as they become available and are compared to the established baseline videos to track changes in the system. The sewer pipe blockage control program is periodically reviewed for its effectiveness in reducing FOG related spills. The City is an active member in the OC WDR Steering Committee and OC WDR General Group, sponsored by OCSD, with employees attending both meetings and workshops.
Information and data on the City’s sanitary sewer collection system is always available for audit as provided under the Order. Changes are made as necessary to continually improve the SSMP.
The City of Placentia has been reporting and keeping statistics on spills occurring within the City’s jurisdiction. Records of individual spills (public and private) that occurred under the Region 8 Order were kept in hard copy and a monthly summary on an Excel spreadsheet. Under the Statewide Order all spills are reported to the CIWQS online database. A current spreadsheet tracking spills over the past 16 years is available in Appendix M of Volume II and includes spills by category, volume, cause and enhanced maintenance area location. These data indicate a 16-year average spill rate (number of spills per 100 miles of system per year) of 0.8, which would categorize the City as having a well performing system. These records are reviewed for source and cause during the investigative process of a spill and will be utilized to measure of effectiveness of the overall SSMP. Biennial audits review spill data to identify trends and are used to modify the program elements and/or SSMP implementation to ensure improved system performance. A change log is contained in Appendix B of Volume lI of the SSMP to track changes that occur to the document.
10.2 Compliance Documents

The City’s regulations related to ADUs were last updated in February 2020 in response to 2019 State legislative actions. Since that time, the legislature has adopted several bills amending ADU and Junior ADU regulations. If a city does not have an ADU ordinance that is compliant with state law, then any applications submitted will be processed under the State law requirements without any local standards. The proposed zoning amendments are required to be in compliance with current State laws. Ordinance No. O-2025-05 was introduced for First Reading at the City Council meeting of July 1, 2025.
Recommendation:
Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council take the following action:
1. Waive full reading, by title only, and adopt Ordinance No. O-2025-05, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Placentia, California, am en d in g Chapter 23.73 of the Placentia Municipal Code Relating to Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units in Accordance with State Law.
Strategic Plan Statement:
This item is consistent with the City Council approved 5-Year Strategic Goal to achieve:
Implementation of Housing Element Strategies, Objective Number 3.10. This agenda item will specifically create opportunities for the development of more housing in the City, including a mix of housing at various price points.
121
Discussion:
The City's regulations related to ADUs were last updated in February 2020 in response to 2019 State legislative actions. The ADU regulations currently in effect were adopted by City Council in February 2020. Since 2020, the legislature has adopted several bills amending ADU and Junior ADU regulations. If a local jurisdiction does not have an ADU ordinance that is compliant with state law, then any applications submitted will be processed under the State law requirements without any local standards. The proposed zoning amendments are required to be in compliance with current State laws.
On June 10, 2025, the City of Placentia Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended that the City Council adopt a Categorical Exemption for this item and recommended approval of ZCA 2025-01. On July 1, 2025, City Council held a public hearing and subsequently, Ordinance No. O-2025-05 was introduced for First Reading at the City Council meeting of July 1, 2025.

Summary:
On January 18, 2022, Urgency Ordinance No. O-2022-01 was adopted by City Council amending Title 22 (Subdivisions) to create a ministerial urban lot split process and amending Title 23 (Zoning) of the Placentia Municipal Code to create a process for the construction of two residential units per lot pursuant to the implementation of State Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) (Government Code Sections 65852.21 and 66411.7). At that time, Staff was directed to return to the Planning Commission to consider a possible recommendation to the City Council of a non-urgency version of an ordinance designed to comply with Senate Bill 9 with additional objective standards. The Planning Commission conducted study sessions regarding a permanent Ordinance on April 12, 2022 and May 10, 2022. Based on input received at those meetings, Staff prepared a permanent SB9 Ordinance with objective standards that was adopted by the City Council on July 19, 2022 and is currently effective. Since that time, the State has amended the law as it pertains to this subject, and the draft Ordinance would update our local regulations in compliance with State law. Ordinance No. O-2025-06 was introduced for First Reading at the City Council meeting of July 1, 2025.
Recommendation:
Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council take the following action:
1. Waive full reading, by title only, and adopt Ordinance No. O-2025-06, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Placentia, California, amending Chapter 22.80 (Urban Lot Splits), Chapter 23.13 (Two-Unit Housing) and Chapter 23.81 (General Regulations and Exceptions) of the Placentia Municipal Code in accordance with State law.
Strategic Plan Statement:
This item is consistent with the City Council approved 5-Year Strategic Goal to achieve:
139
Implementation of Housing Element Strategies, Objective Number 3.10. This agenda item will specifically create opportunities for the development of more housing in the City, including a mix of housing at various price points.
Discussion:
The City's regulations related to two-unit housing and urban lot splits were last updated by the adoption of Ordinance No. O-2022-07 by the City Council. Since that time, the State has made additional amendments to Government Code Sections 65852.21 and 66411.7 relating to two-unit housing developments and urban lot splits. In order to comply with State law, Section
22.80.021 and Chapter 23.13 of the Placentia Municipal Code needs to be amended to be in compliance with current State laws. Staff also recommends updates to PMC Chapter 23.81 to codify additional objective standards related to two-unit housing and urban lot splits, and these regulations would be applicable for residential development citywide.
On June 10, 2025, the City of Placentia Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended that the City Council adopt a finding that this Ordinance is not subject to CEQA review and recommended approval of ZCA 2025-02.

Strategic Plan Statement:
This item is consistent with the City Council approved 5-Year Strategic Plan Goal 6: Improve City Beautification. Team One Management Inc. is the contractor that provides the janitorial services for the park restrooms for the City and ensures that they are open and clean for park patrons to utilize.
Discussion:
Team One Management Inc. has been providing park restroom janitorial services to the City since 2016 and their performance has met the City's expectations. Additionally, they have assisted the City in providing porter services for special events and additional janitorial services for the Civic Center for our Public Works Department.
Team One maintains and cleans the restroom at Kraemer Park, McFadden Park, Tuffree Park, Koch Park, Vaqueros Park, Arroyo Verde Park, Parque de los Ninos, Placentia Champions Sports Complex, and Valadez Middle School. The scope of work requires the contractor to provide routine janitorial services for all City Park restroom facilities, seven (7) days a week, including holidays. The contractor provides all cleaning supplies as well as all paper and soap supplies for each restroom. The contractor is responsible for unlocking all the restroom facilities by 7:00 a.m. each day, and all restroom maintenance must be completed by 10:00 a.m.
The contract scope of work will be changed to include porter services for special events that are held within the City of Placentia along with the addition of janitorial services for the Civic Center for the Public Works Department. This Amendment No. 3 will change the current Amendment No. 2 to include these additional services and alter the not-to-exceed amount for this one (1) year extension to $137,532.70. Should the City Council approve the contract term extension, Team One will continue to provide the restroom facility janitorial services and add the porter services along with the janitorial services for the Civic Center beginning August 1, 2025.
Fiscal Impact Summary:
Amendment No. 3 with Team One Management Inc. is to alter the scope of work and not-to- exceed amount of the current Amendment No. 2 for additional services that would be rendered by the contractor. Amendment No. 3 will have a not-to-exceed amount of $137,562.70 for the one year amended contract ending August 1, 2026. The not-to-exceed amount includes a contract change order of the cumulative contract not-to-exceed amount of $12,505.70. Should City Council approve the proposed Amendment No. 3, sufficient funds exist in both the Community Services and Public Works Department budgets for contract services for FY 2025-26.
